Bondage

Pushing the snacks on the table to Lin Jiayue, Song Wan said softly, "It's a little difficult."

"The battle between Dongning and Nanqing a few decades ago caused great damage to the national strength. The treasury has not been rich these years, and it is difficult to support a long-term war."

"Although the previous method of crowdfunding can relieve the urgent need, it can't pull the nail out of the wedge."

"Although the opponent has only [-] troops now, Nanqing advocates force. The people of Nanqing, men, women and children, drink milk of cows and goats and eat their meat. Most of them are tall and powerful. It is not just talk .”

Song Wan's brows were a little sad: "At first glance, although Dongning has a lot more troops than Nanqing, more than half of Dongning's troops are from the supply battalion in charge of logistics affairs, and they are not really capable of fighting the enemy. "

"And Nanqing's [-] troops can go into battle to kill the enemy."

"Not only that, the warhorse of Nanqing is also several times stronger than mine..."

Lin Jiayue frowned when she heard this: "But don't we still have firearms? These firearms must be very lethal."

Song Wan pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer Lin Jiayue.

Dongning does have firearms, but the conditions for using firearms are too harsh.Firstly, the Su River is very humid, which affects the firearms.Second, firearms need to be equipped with a certain amount to be effective.Not to mention that it has a limited range and low hit rate, but it takes a lot of time for previous preparations such as loading and clearing the chamber.

Therefore, although this firearm is somewhat useful, it is not a magic weapon for victory.

"And King Ning has an iron cavalry in his hands. They are wearing heavy armor and are very good at riding. They are not hurt by stabbing. Everyone in this iron cavalry chains themselves to the horse with a hook rope. Even if they die, they will not fall off the horse."

"During the confrontation, Nanqing led the iron cavalry, and scattered me to set up the formation..."

Song Wan's tone became softer, and she couldn't help but sigh softly when she said the last word.

These things were figured out by her studying military books and the news from Suhe to Shangjing in the past few days.She only hated that she was born as a weak girl, so she couldn't come to Suhe to contribute to Dongning.

"This iron cavalry..."

Lin Jiayue pouted her chin and frowned, wondering what she was thinking.

Song Wan looked at her, her heart tightened.

Lin Jiayue said: "Is there no way to stop the horse?"

"Of course there are. Although there are nail-board traps and other things, they are not very effective for the Shangnanqing cavalry."

Lin Jiayue looked at Song Wan, and scratched her cheek lightly: "I have a solution, that is, pickle it up a bit."

With a light cough, Lin Jiayue said, "The war horses of the Nanqing cavalry are stallions, mares, geldings, or both?"

"At this time, there should be mostly male horses. Nanqing only uses gelding horses when the horses are in heat."

"why?"

Song Wandao: "Nanqing seldom castrates war horses, because the mares have no strength, and the geldings are not fierce enough to fight. However, people in Nanqing grew up on horseback, are proficient in horse training, and pay more attention to good foals. Reproduction, they have taken it as the foundation of the country for generations. They will not cut off the blood of the good horse."

"Besides, the people of Nanqing love fierce horses the most. They will only be castrated when they are sent to other countries, so as to ensure that they will lose their spiritual nature and prevent other countries from breeding war horses."

Lin Jiayue coughed lightly: "In that case, I have a solution."

"Although it is not the season of estrus, we can force the mare to estrus..."

"Well... take some medicine."

Looking at Song Wan's wide eyes, Lin Jiayue felt a little uncomfortable.

She knows that people in this era have a strange love and cherishment for horses. In the past, Jiang Xingjian often talked about how a horse over eight feet is a dragon, or what is the beauty of a horse, the horse of a green dragon, and she will not be born like her idea.

Straightening her body uncomfortably, she continued: "Get the smell of the estrous mare on your body, as long as it triggers the Nanqing warhorse into estrus, maybe you can break the cavalry."

Song Wan blinked her eyes, unable to say anything for a moment.

This way of moving the sword forward, I am afraid that only the person in front of him can think of it.

After a long time, Song Wan rolled his eyes and smiled: "I'll let the people from Dongchang tell Chaozhong and the prince."

Lin Jiayue smiled and said, "Success."

The two had lunch together, and after the meal, Lin Jiayue and Song Wan sat in the Laiyi Pavilion and chatted.The two of them talked and talked about Chengyanghou Mansion.

"Most of the people left without a case payment in a few months. Now I feel that the burden has been relieved a lot."

Song Wan said: "You handled it very well, if I were to handle it like this."

"Yeah, I've thought about it, you can't sell people off, but it's always okay for them to leave on their own. Everyone in Beijing knows what's going on in the Hou's Mansion now, and who in the midst of the war has the leisure to gossip about others?"

More importantly, she is not afraid of what others say.

"I won't say anything."

Song Wan said softly: "Leaving the Hou's mansion like this is no different from rebelling against the lord. Even if you go to another mansion, you will only say that the Hou's mansion is benevolent, and it is kindness to let them out."

She looked at Lin Jiayue and felt that the other party was different from ever.

Although Lin Jiayue is not as free as she was when the two met for the first time, she is not as haggard as she was when the two families of Lan and Bai got married.

Today's Lin Jiayue is more than calm and reveals a freshness that is rarely seen in aristocratic women.

Song Wan pursed her lips and smiled faintly, feeling that everything is just right now.

The two chatted for a long time before Lin Jiayue said goodbye.

"If this happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the palace to see you for a while."

Song Wan smiled and said: "When the child is older, you bring him into the palace together, and I will show him off."

"That's natural, prepare some expensive ones, I like expensive ones."

"..."

In this world, Lin Jiayue was the only one who could speak so bluntly as a bachelor, Song Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

For some reason, she felt a lot closer after hearing what the other party said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare some expensive and rare ones that you can admire."

"Then you prepare a copy for me too, and when you have a baby in the future, I'll send you back something novel and fun."

Song Wan pursed her lips, smiling so hard that her brows couldn't be seen.

While teasing Lin Jiayue for exchanging fun for expensive ones, Song Wan sent her off to Xianglai Pavilion.

As soon as he sent people out of the East Palace, Changping, the chief eunuch of Changxin Palace, came to report that Song Lan'an was currently in Changxin Palace, and asked Song Wan if he wanted to see him.

"Eunuch, wait a moment."

Back in the Laiyi Pavilion, Song Wan picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the method Lin Jiayue just said on the paper, and left with Changping after sorting it out.

"Eunuch, do you know why father entered the palace today?"

How could her father enter the palace to see her aunt if nothing happened?There must be some mistakes in the court, and [-]% of them are related to Suhe.

Song Wan's hand holding the handkerchief was a little stiff, but he had to curl his lips into a faint smile.

When they entered Changxin Palace, there were only Song Lan'an and Song Yuning in the courtyard, both of them were silent, and their faces were even more solemn.

Seeing Song Wan, Song Yuning said with a smile: "Come here to warm your hands and meet your father."
